I recently upgraded to Gnome-3.8 and systemd. It seems that systemd works, but there are a few details to take care of. One of these details is how to get automatic & continuous time & data setting with NTP. Previously, I used ntp-client (at startup) and then ntpd while the computer was running. I tried to use these with systemd, but it seems there are no services for systemd. I tried several ways:

Code:

systemctl enable ntp

(does not work),

Code:

systemctl enable ntpd

(does not work),

Code:

systemctl enable ntpdate

(does not work),

Code:

systemctl enable ntp-client

(does not work).

After some Googling, I found that maybe I should use

Code:

chronyd

, so I installed that. However, when I issue

Code:

systemctl enable chrony

there is no error, but the chronyd service is listed as FAILED. When I start chronyd by hand, it works fine. I don't understand why it does not work with systemd but I could not find any usable debug info. So.... what can I use to set the time & date automatically and have continuous synchronization with NTP, if I use systemd?

So I'm not quite sure what to do about that. I guess the settings are b0rked and it needs to be ported to work with systemd.

By the way, I really recommend enabling bash completion, that lets you write 'systemctl enable' and then press tab to see all available services. No need to guess anymore _________________Weeks of coding can save you hours of planning.
